Verse 1
[Dm] Waking in the rubble
[Am/C] Walking over glass
[Gm] Neighbours say we’re trouble
[Asus4] Well that time has [A] passed
[Dm] Fearing from the mirror
[Am/C] No, that isn’t me
[Gm] A stranger getting nearer
[Asus4] Who can this [A] person be?
[Gm] You wouldn’t [Dm/F] know me at all [A] today
[A7] From the fading light I fly

Chorus
[Gm] Rise like a phoenix
[Bb] Out of the ashes
Seeking [Dm] rather than vengeance
[C] Retribution, you were [Gm] warned
Once I’m [A] transformed, once I’m [F] reborn
You know I will [Gm] rise like a phoenix
[Asus4] But you’re my [A] flame

Verse 2
[Dm] Go about your business
[Am/C] Act as if you’re free
[Gm] No one could have witnessed
[Asus4] What you did to [A] me
[Gm] ‘Cause you wouldn’t [Dm/F] know me today
[Eb] And [Eb/D] you have got to [Cm] see [Cm/Bb] to [A] believe
[A7] From the fading light I fly

Chorus
[Gm] Rise like a phoenix
[Bb] Out of the ashes
Seeking [Dm] rather than vengeance
[C] Retribution, you were [Bb] warned
Once I’m [A] transformed, once I’m [D] reborn

Bridge
[Dm/F] I rise up to the [Bb] sky
[A] You threw me down but I’m gonna fly

Chorus
[Gm] Rise like a phoenix
[Bb] Out of the ashes
Seeking [Dm] rather than vengeance
[C] Retribution, you were [Bb] warned
Once I’m [A] transformed, once I’m [F] reborn
You know I will [Gm] rise like a phoenix

Outro
[A] But you’re my [Dm] flame
